In this heart to heart I’m sharing an update on my offer revamp timeline so far: what I’ve gotten done and what lies ahead for the next few weeks. I’m also sharing this weird sensation I’ve been feeling the last week or so since being pregnant, and curious if anyone else has felt this as well. As always, these are my favorite episodes and I appreciate you listening and taking the time to share with a biz bestie.

Anytime I’m in a season of change, I like to reflect, audit and analyze what has gone well in past biz remodels and/or what has gotten me to where I’m at. Of course to experience different results you sometimes need to execute different strategies and more importantly, THINK differently. BUT…success also leaves clues and there are a few themes I’ve noticed in my business growth seasons that I wanted to share with you. The three themes I’m diving deeper into in this down and dirty episode (my ver...

I’m POSITIVE you’ve heard the phrase, “pull back to spring forward”, aka the slingshot effect. If you visualize a slingshot, it makes complete sense. For the ball/marble/whatever you put inside the slingshot to whip forward and go far…you need to pull it back with enough strength. That PULLBACK season is what SO many entrepreneurs resist, especially if they’ve experienced a lot of financial success and are KNOWN for that financial success. It’s like they’re scared to not have big numbers plaster...

Today’s podcast episode is finally revealing the main changes I’m making to my business to accommodate TWO babies coming into my life very soon. In this episode I break down the three main changes we’re making as well as the tentative order in which we’re making them. I’ve decided to really pull back the curtain as we implement all of this and take you along for the ride; inception style. If you want to be even more involved in the BTS sneak peek, be sure to DM me on Instagram (linked below) to ...

I recorded this Heart to Heart for you fresh off of a 2-day in person client retreat, so basically it’s inspo on SPEED. In today’s episode we talk about the power of simplifying and making what is already good, even better to increase your profits and see more success in your business. I also talk about the power of in person, and surrounding yourself with “abundance”, whatever that means to you; showing you what’s possible and totally within your reach. I end it with a personal life reflection ...

Today’s awkward time interview is super special, not only because it’s a message I think EVERYONE needs to hear right now (during the sometimes slower season in summer), but with someone I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with over the last seven months. Shay Gottsacker is a fat loss coach who’s been building her brand and business since 2018. In this episode we talk about the beginning years in her business; the seemingly “slow years” that built such a strong foundation for her now multip...

This Heart to Heart was recorded immediately after I got off of an INCREDIBLE interview with Beverly Simpson. Our conversation inspired me so much that I wanted to share a lot of what we talked about in this episode, as a “light tough love” episode. Because honestly? I see SO MANY amazing coaches and strategists NOT putting themselves out there fully because of some imaginary or “arbitrary” metric they think they have to hit to go for it. And quite frankly? It’s BS. There are far less talented p...

I’ve been in the coaching industry for eleven years, so I’m basically a grandma at this point. I’ve seen SO many things come and go and I’ve seen terms used interchangeably, when I really don’t think they should be. The terms “mastermind” and “group program” being two in particular. In my opinion, I find a group coaching program and a mastermind to be two very different types of offers, hence why I run my own personal group program and mastermind, well… Completely DIFFERENT. In this episode I’m ...

Today’s heart to heart is in true Meg fashion: a hodgepodge of my thoughts and feelings from the past week. I touch on how hard it has been for me to let go of control, especially when it comes to the creative aspects of my business, and how working with a marketing agency is forcing me to do so. I also dive into my recently slight obsession with scrolling on social media and re-checking my metrics, and how just setting some boundaries this week has increased my happiness level and decreased my ...

Last week I polled my Instagram and asked, “are you in a season of change in your business?” and 96% said either “changing SO much” or “changing a little.” I’m honestly not surprised with those results, because this time of year (halfway through) is when a lot of people evaluate the first 6 months and see if they’re on track to reach their 2023 goals or even see if those goals are in alignment anymore. In this episode not only do I break down my APEC framework (a process to audit your business t...

I believe in SEASONS when it comes to your business. In real life? Honestly, I could forgo winter now that I’m moving back to New York full time, but #Idigress Seasons of rest Seasons of “hustle” (or replace with a word that represents you being focused and busier than usual) Seasons of the need for coaching, mentorship, masterminds Seasons of learning (investing in courses, VIP days, plans of action) Seasons of DFY (getting shit done FOR you). And after a long discussion with my husband we deci...

It’s one thing to prep your clients, audience, and team for a planned vacation. It’s another when life completely comes at you and you’re FORCED to take time off. Well that’s exactly what happened to me at the end of May when my father passed. Within 24 hours I made the decision to take a month off of serving clients, posting on social and my podcast/email list. So how did I quickly tell my audience? How did I prep my clients to be okay during this time? What was their progress like while I was ...

After my father passed, I honestly forgot I was pregnant. (Obviously not for long, but it was just so clouded by immense grief). Then my husband and I went to our first sonogram (10 days after he passed) and found out… WE’RE HAVING TWINS. Talk about a P-I-V-O-T. Our life got completely turned upside down for the second time in one month, but this time in the most beautiful way possible. If you’re not familiar with our story, my husband and I have had quite the journey to get to this point; separ...

When it comes to selling your offers consistently on social media, there is NOTHING more important than having the right messaging. You could have the best launch strategy, vehicle, funnel, etc in the world, but if the messaging that is INSIDE of it isn’t ACTIVATING your ideal client, it’s not going to result in what you’re wanting = more sales. It’s like having the crust of a pie without the ooey gooey goodness inside…kinda pointless, lackluster and dry. Well my #prettyawkward friend, you’re in...

If you haven’t been in my world over the last month, you might not know that my father, John Yelaney, passed away unexpectedly on May 26th. My entire world was flipped upside down when this happened and I made the decision to take off work for four weeks; both client facing work as well as emails, podcasting and social content. This episode is a very honest and possibly at points TMI episode of what life has been like for me over the last four weeks. I wanted to be as real as possible with you a...

You’re in for a TREAT my #prettyawkward friend, because today’s interview is a no holding back truth bomb typa episode. Taylor Slango is an INCREDIBLE business and embodiment coach for spiritual entrepreneurs and someone I’ve “grown up with” in this coaching industry. In my opinion she’s one of the GOAT’S and has stayed the course of all the changes, ups & downs, and MAJOR life shifts she’s experienced. She is SO adaptable and knows how to adjust and pivot when appropriate (both because of s...

In this heart to heart I’m sharing what was happening BTS in my latest launch that I didn’t share publicly with social media. Life was LIFE-ING, lemme tell ya, and in this episode I share what was going on, but more importantly how I managed to handle it and still show up for the launch. Unfortunately life doesn’t decide to “take it easy” during launches (that would be AMAZING, right?!) and just go easy on us during those busy seasons. So how do you manage it all? How much is too much to share? ...

We are pulling back the curtains in a BIG WAY my friend and taking you step by step through my latest launch. I’m sharing… What went REALLY well (and some new things we tried) What mistakes we made (to change for next time) And what was out of our control This is probably the launch I’m most proud of to date, even though it’s not the highest cash launch I’ve ever had. We (my team and I) showed up so fully and look at what we did with such pride and as corny as it sounds…honor, because I know we ...

This past weekend my husband and I had one of the best weekends of our lives and definitely one of the top 3 experiences in our marriage (probably our wedding day being #1). We attended a couples retreat hosted by our fabulous relationship coaches James and Angela, the founders of Love Intentionally. This episode is a breakdown of the retreat, why we went, what we did and what we got out of it. To say we had breakthroughs would be an understatement. We are truly changed, and even though this is ...

What do you think of when you hear the word “confidence.” If you’re like 99% of the world you probably first think “chest up and out, maybe a little louder or that quiet confidence people can have, and definitely sure of themselves.” But I have a feeling today’s conversation with Jordan Gomez is going to flip that on it’s head for you. Jordan aka “J.Go” is a Life Coach, Speaker, and the host of the Confidently Uncomfortable Podcast. She helps empower women to create healthy habits, long-term lif...

What were my best investments? What were my worst investments? What coaching styles did I love? What did I NOT love? I’m going to be VERY honest in this episode and shoot it to you straight (as per usual). One of the things I’ll stress most is how I see a lot of people either 1) wait to invest when they really ...

Chrysa is an INCREDIBLE career coach helping professionals get career satisfaction, clarity or completely pivot their career. And #funfact , she originally said “no” to joining SOSA.

But more than that, like she says in this interview, she’s most proud of all the personal growth she’s achieved, especially how...

It’s not easy to ask for help, especially when you feel like you’re ‘starting over.’ But that’s exactly what Sami, our SOSA student feature of the day, did when she joined us last year. Sami pivoted from digital nomad coaching to relationship coaching and was struggling to really find her flow with content and sign clients in this new niche. She plugged into the SOSA support system, specifically diving into the TikTok lesson and launch mini course. Her TikTok blew up to almost 10K followers and ...
